A lot of your recent songs have been remixes and it's unclear if you have rights to the source material. Can you provide more information about the bands behind the songs you are remixing and were the songs no-copyright or royalty-free, or did you have licenses to remix them?

forgive me for jumping in or speaking on op's behalf (i'm trying not to do either), but it looks like this remix is of a charting (copyrighted) song from a popular swedish alt-metal band. i'm unsure about the rest as i dont know the original artists of the remixed songs, but from light research i've been able to find that at least?

Hi, I submitted my appeal, I created a remix of a song in which you could download the vocals and use it in your own ( I only used the vocals), as long as you credited the artist. When I went to check on it and it said that the appeal was closed, could I be informed what happened?

Hi, there is no license, unfortunately, just what it said in the description of the original song : https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/866873

Yes, I see the stipulation, however:

Assuming you correctly issued an identical license (ie, the same options the original artist used):


No, I didn't use any loops because of this exact situation I'm trying to avoid, and I just used the vocals, nothing else.

I couldn't even post the song. While I was putting in the description and license, I got blocked and messaged by P-bot.

All the authors have allowed me to use my remixes of their songs for non-commercial purposes, but i dont have license only for INEY remix.

Hello, @Pingu! I may have done a copyright infringement upon the work of Luka Peharda's "Sunset". I can't upload tracks on Newgrounds anymore.

Would you like to help me?

Response to Audio Appeal Thread 2024-05-12 13:55:07


I was false banned and have been for well over a year, tried contacting audio mods about this but never got a response so I was told to go here, and thats what I'm doing, I guess.


Reasons I should be unbanned:

  • i have 100 soundcloud followers which means at least some people care about my stuff
  • of course my friend wants me to upload stuff to newgrounds for geometry dash
  • it's literally been a year lol
  • the thing i got banned for was an original song using a free to use vocal loop

YendorNG is right in the sense that any facts not relating to your rights to use the samples are not at all relevant to your appeal. SoundCloud has basically the same rules as NG. It's just really bad at enforcing them due to overpopulation and scarcity of mods. Your appeal was closed by @LexRodent perhaps because he recognized the exact same sample in the track in question.


I've reopened your appeal, with the caveat that I'd like to see a screen recording of the project if you have that available (you can just pm me an unlisted YT video) and an explanation of some more project details, how it was made, etc. The compositions sound similar and you mention Splice, so what I want to know is how much of the composition is composed of loops and how much of it you wrote in manually.

hello,


I got flagged for copyright infringement on my own work. the copyright infringement detected is indeed my own track, i just prefer to also distribute what I make onto NewGrounds and I would like help on figuring out what to do next or if I just need to keep waiting as it has been 6 days where P-Bot's DM was stuck saying "Hang tight! We're just checking your audio!". an extra 3 days after the anticipated 3 days wait time from what i've read elsewhere.


Thanks ahead of time,

Hello.

One of my audio sumbmission had been flagged, and I closed the appeal. It has been more than three days.

It was copyrighted because in the beginning of the song I used a copyright free sample that someone else had used in their song. The sample is free and anyone can use it. I would still like to be able to post music on newgrounds. Thank you.🩷

Hey so, I tried to upload a cover of Copacabana, not realizing that the instrumental I used was copyrighted. I don't want to post that anymore, I just wanna continue to upload music. It's been 3 days and I deleted my reply, wanting to rewrite it, accidentally closing the appeal. Thanks.

If you used someone else's instrumental without legal permission from the rights holder (written permission works in most cases) then you cannot host it on NG. But I still recommend remaking the instrumental.


What kind of music do you hope to post to NG besides that

Just original music like I've been doing. I now know not to post covers with stock versions of the instrumental I find online lol

I might make some covers with my own instrumentals though. I don't know but for now, only original music.

Don't worry. Your appeals still exist!


I see that you make projects in sound trap. Is there any way you can send me a pm with some information about the loops and or samples you used, share the project with me, etc. Often loops get caught in the copyright checker, and they themselves end up being fine, but sometimes the composition as a whole breaks the rules by being entirely made up of loops

Your ban has been reduced to 3 days remaining in length, since you were not aware of the nature of your offense until after the fact. Please take some time to review the audio portal rules so you don't get snagged again!

I am still experiencing this issue, the bot still has the same response and it has been much longer than I initially thought it would take. I would love a response at some point on what I should do as I do not see a way to appeal it.


The initial popup for the copyright infringement flag when I went to upload it was one of my tracks but when I go to appeal it in p-bot he still just says "Hang tight! We're just checking your audio!".

This is because the bot has only one function, to detect copyright! I've approved your appeal. Safest bet for you is to come here with each appeal until you are scouted. Otherwise you'll be waiting a bit!
